Does SDL 1.3 support the force feedback in "native" mode on kernel 2.6.34?

Greetz,

Does SDL 1.3 support the force feedback in “native” mode on kernel 2.6.34?

Hello Anisha,

What is this native mode you speak of? How is it different from the
standard interface on linux? Have you tried the testhaptic example in
the test/ directory that comes with SDL 1.3?

Greetz,

Sorry for not being clear enough.
We have a wheel : Logitech Driving force (DFGT). The wheel supports
force feedback.
We tested the constant effect of force feedback using the fftest
program. The problem is
when we switch the wheel to native mode using LtWheelConf software
(https://github.com/TripleSpeeder/LTWheelConf), fftest stops giving
the force feedback.

Hence I asked whether does libsdl 1.3 support force feedback in native
mode on kernel version 2.6.34?

Have you tried the testhaptic example in the test/ directory that comes with SDL 1.3?
Couldn’t download the new source code today, the internet was too
slow. Will try it.

Please guide.
Thanks.

Not sure what native mode is still, is it actually different API or
something? If it uses the same interface as the normal force feedback it
should work, assuming it hasn’t changed since I implemented it
originally. However, functionality is tested upon initialization of the
subsystem, so if you change it halfway through I think it’ll fail.

That will probably be the best way to see if it’ll work. It should list
everything SDL detects and run a few simple examples if applicable.

Good luck,

Edgar
